For an immersive music experience, the AKG K712 Pro headphones are superior with a better overall sound quality and a more expansive soundstage, making them ideal for critical listening. However, they are not portable and lack a microphone, making them unsuitable for calls and travel. On the other hand, the Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 earbuds are versatile with good sound quality, active noise cancelling, a microphone for calls, and are optimized for use with both Android and Apple devices. They are also more suitable for exercise and travel due to their portability and sweatproof design. If budget is a concern, you'll find the Sennheiser is the less expensive option while still offering high performance across various use cases. Give Feedback
